Many of our students are beginning to think about their futures, including college, employment, independent living, and building the confidence needed to navigate adulthood. These resources will allow students to explore different career paths, strengthen decision-making skills, and learn practical strategies for success in everyday life.\r\n\r\nAs a school social worker, it is incredibly meaningful to have materials that support students not only academically, but personally and emotionally as they prepare for adulthood. These books will be used in individual and group counseling sessions to encourage self-awareness, goal setting, problem-solving, communication skills, and future planning. Thank you for investing in our students and helping them feel more prepared, capable, and hopeful about their futures.","fullyFundedDate":1778227166157,"projectUrl":"project/im-grown/10273653/","projectTitle":"I'm Grown!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pleszewski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7928803_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y70&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768842820516","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/epleszewski"},{"teacherId":7928803,"projectId":10042199,"letterContent":"This project being funded brought smiles to so many faces! Your generous donation of snacks to our social work and counseling office made a meaningful impact on both our middle and high school students this year. As a rural school district, many of our students face barriers that can affect both their academic success and emotional well-being, including limited access to resources, transportation challenges, food insecurity, and increased stress at home. For students navigating anxiety, depression, peer conflict, grief, and everyday adolescent pressures, having access to something as simple as a snack created an immediate sense of comfort and care. Students often entered the office overwhelmed, withdrawn, or unable to focus, but being offered a snack helped them feel welcomed, safe, and supported during difficult moments.\r\n\r\nThe snacks also became powerful tools for connection and mental health support. Many students were more willing to open up during counseling sessions while sharing a snack, allowing conversations to feel more natural and less intimidating. We noticed students were better able to regulate emotions, process difficult situations, and return to class calmer and more focused after having something to eat. For some students, these snacks helped stabilize their mood and concentration enough to get through the remainder of the school day. In a time when student mental health needs continue to rise, your donation helped us meet both emotional and basic needs in a practical and compassionate way.\r\nOur students were genuinely excited about the snacks you provided. Even small gestures — favorite chips, granola bars, crackers, or cookies — brought smiles and created moments of joy during hard days. Students frequently checked in to see what snacks were available and expressed gratitude for having a space where they felt cared for without judgment. Your support helped transform our counseling office into more than just a place for crisis support; it became a trusted, welcoming environment where students knew they mattered.
